Rules Roundup: 20th July

Our wonderful and friendly discord has a channel designed to take your questions! Sometimes GW’s FAQs are slow to be updated, and rules are either unclear or simply not phrased well for non-English speakers. To that end, we have an excellent team of lawyers on hand to interpret the rules and answer questions you might have.

Below are the questions that were asked over the last 7 days from our discord server and the answers provided by our legal department*:

Q: Can Krethusa revive Morathi?
A: Yes, but not the Shadow Queen. Morathi would essentially take damage like a normal unit, but it’s a way of getting a good caster back in the late game.

Q: Can you get multiple instances of +1 to Hit?
A: You can, but you cannot benefit from more than one. You could have 5 different sources of +1 to Hit, but you’re still only going to benefit from a single instance. Multiple sources of +1 are only good for countering you opponent’s -1 to Hit, should that exist. (e.g. if you had +2 to Hit and your opponent gave you -1, you would have +1 to hit. If you had +2 to hit but no penalties, you would have +1 to Hit.)

Q: If a unit has Strike-First, what happens if an opponent’s ability gives them Strike-Last?
A: The two abilities will cancel out. This is shown in the Core Rules, section 19.0.

Q: If a Beast of Nurgle is killed and then replaced, can Horticulous replace that Beast when it dies?
A: No. Replacement units cannot be replaced.

Q: How does the weapon ability [SHOOT IN COMBAT] work?
A: The unit can still use that ranged weapon to make attacks in the shooting phase if it is in combat with a unit (which normally would not be allowed). The attacking unit can only target the unit it is in combat with.

*Please note that the “legal department” is a joke. None of these people are lawyers, cannot provide real legal advice, and are not representing themselves as lawyers. This shouldn’t have to be said, but US law is dumb so there’s the disclaimer. Don’t come after us.
